LDN Video Interviews and Presentations

Dr Ronald Hoffman Interviews Linda Elsegood on LDN and The LDN Book (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Linda Elsegood shares her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Story on the Intelligent Medicine Podcast with Donald Hoffman.

In 1969 at the age of 13, Linda had glandular fever (Epstein-Barr virus). She was seriously ill and away from school for six months. 

Late 1999 Linda’s mother had a serious heart attack and the trauma affected her badly. She was working full time, travelling two and a half hours every day and running the home. This excessive workload and stress began to take its toll on her health, and by May 2000 she had lost her balance, lost feeling in the left side of her face and her head, tongue and nose were numb with pins and needles.

In early December 2003 Linda started Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), and the results were incredibly positive. By Christmas Linda was functioning again, and her liver tests were back to normal. She felt like herself again.

Linda founded the LDN Research Trust in May 2004. In this interview she says that it is the most exciting thing she has ever done. She is able to give many hours a week to the Trust, helping people to get LDN and trying to get it into clinical trials.

Dr Rajka shares her Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood. 

Dr. Rajka is trained in functional medicine and specializes in nutrition and realises that most illnesses stem from inflammation throughout our systems. Her pathway into this career was inspired by her own pediatrician from a young age, instilling a desire to help others.

She herself has Hashimoto's and went gluten, dairy, and sugar free in order to heal herself. Many causes of inflammation begin in the gut and can be corrected with healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes. 

Dr Rajka describes her 8 point list of triggers for that inflammation and how to alleviate them. She prescribes Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) as an adjunct to her other treatments with positive results.

Dr Paul Anderson, LDN Radio Show 19 May 2017 (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Dr Paul Anderson shares his Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) experience on the LDN Radio Show with Linda Elsegood.

Dr Paul Anderson started 40 years ago working in medical labs and eventually started up his own lab. Bored with this, he sold the business to go back to school and become an MD. 

He observed that most family practitioners don't have time to delve deeply into the more complicated and difficult illnesses like Cancer and autoimmune diseases. Thus he studied further to become a Naturopathic Doctor and started up his clinic. 

He learned about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) approximately 15 years ago and treats his patients with a synergetic approach. He finds that LDN is his first line of treatment, but it is accompanied by diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Vitamins, supplements and herbs are utilized as an important part of treatment.

Pharmacist Mark Mandel, LDN Radio Show (LDN, low dose naltrexone) from LDN Research Trust on Vimeo.

Dr. Mark Mandel, owner of Mark drugs, compounding pharmacy in Illinois, United States shares his experience in prescribing and compounding Low Dose Naltrexone.

I first heard about LDN in the mid 1990s. One of my patients husband was using LDN, for a couple of conditions that he had at that particular time.

He had been diagnosed with cancer and with autoimmune diseases.

We compound LDN the simple way. LDN one compounded alone with lactose sugar is the most readily absorbed available source.

For those patients who are sensitive to lactose, the only other modification or alteration we do was we put it in combination with probiotics, and that seemed to have a beneficial effect for many patients as well.

We have the ability to put chemicals into any dosage form that was effective.

We do ship LDN all across the domestic United States.

We help patients with Cancer,  Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis prescribing LDN with success.

Dosing on the Low Dose Naltrexone can vary anywhere from a minimum 1.5 milligrams at bed time to the maximum effective dose, approximately 4.5 milligrams at that time. And then it's actually the 4.5 milligram dose is typically the most common dose.

There's a variety of different patients have different response rates.

And depending on the condition that's being treated, different concentrations at different dosages may be appropriate for different patients.

We probably have about 2000 physicians who are ordering Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).

We have physicians in the Chicago land area in central Illinois, and in Northwestern Illinois. We also work with physicians in Wisconsin and Indiana, which are the States surrounding Illinois surrounding the Chicago area.

Talking about LDN side effects, the majority of patients that report any, would be the very vivid dreams. The dreams are typically not disturbing. However some of them can be quite disturbing. Some can cause some anxiety, if the patient knows in advance that their dream cycle may be effected.

We found from a server that we carried out that only about 5% of people experience side effects at all.

We find that we're able to give the patients a lower price with a larger quantity of Low Dose Naltrexone, or they tend to get three to six months supply at a time. As you get to a three month or greater supply, the price of the LDN dropped to less than $20 a month.

So other medications that are available to treat these autoimmune conditions have awful toxicity, from simple nausea to complete fatigue, which is some of the things that you're trying to combat with conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I've been amazed since I first learned about Low Dose Naltrexone, which was quite some time ago, at the positive results and the positive benefits that our patients have seen. I've had patients have been diagnosed with breast cancer, who decides to use Low Dose Naltrexone in conjunction with other treatments who've seen a reversal of the breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer.

I encourage patients to contact me if they have questions. I can be reached through our website at Marc drugs or you can email us through our website@infoatmerckdrugs.com.
